We are proud to announce that Musical Fidelity has won the prestigious EISA award for 2023/2024 in the category “High-End Integrated Amplifier“.

OFFICIAL EISA Award citation : This flagship integrated amp adopts the core form and function of its highly respected predecessor while showcasing performance and aesthetic improvements. Combining solid-state power amplification with nuvistor tube-based input and driver stages, Musical Fidelity’s hybrid offers a best-ofboth worlds sound: smooth and musical with cavernous soundstaging, but also gloriously aggressive and weighty when required. Driving ability also startles – this 2x330W-rated amp will handle any loudspeaker that crosses it path – while the reimagined front-panel display makes operation easy. The Nu-Vista 800.2 is a fantastic addition to Musical Fidelity’s top-flight line-up, and a must-hear for any music-lover.

The Nu-Vista 800 returns in its updated 2023 incarnation.

The Nu-Vista 800.2 has received a new modernised front plate and a completely new display. It‘s in line with our new range of Nu-Vista products. We soon realised we would have to update the power supply circuits and control and electronic on/off control circuitry to adapt for the new display. And while we were already at it, we had our transformers rewound, for lower standing flux, so they are less sensitive to mains DC offset noise. This means a slightly larger (and heavier) transformer which, thankfully, still fits the same casework.

The Nu-Vista 800.2 carries our famed TITAN heritage in its heart. The original Nu-Vista 800 was the first to include the locally decoupled output stage since the TITAN. This involved giving each output device a corresponding high current bulk supply capacitor. These capacitors mounted on the power amplifier PCB, give it similar appearance to a “V10” engine!

Mounting such a capacitor near to the each output transistor allows more immediate access to stored energy, with much lower impedance path to flow through. This results in better transient response and coincidently provides a degree of improved ripple filtering at higher currents in conjunction with the supply capacitors situated elsewhere.

Musical Fidelity brings back one of the most iconic hi-fi integrated amplifiers of all time.

In hi-fi, the Musical Fidelity A1 has become one of the most classic designs – inside and out. First released back in 1985, it quickly made waves for being an absolute beast when it came down to driving some of the most difficult speakers of that time, even though it was actually a rather low powered integrated amplifier. But: it was all done in pure Class A with excellent and expertly laid out discrete symmetrical circuitry topology and using only highest quality components. The A1 showed people that there was more to amplifiers than just high power.

Based on its huge success, the A1 has gone through multiple reissues and new versions over the years.

Our M6x DAC is a new milestone in the history of Musical Fidelity DACs. Going all the way back, the M6x DAC is the proud successor to the Digilog model that started it all – in 1988.

The M6x DAC incorporates the newest Sabre ESS chips – one for each channel to compliment the dual mono design front to back. The inclusion of a Time Domain Jitter Eliminator results in superb SNR and THD+N performance with unbelievablely detailed transient response. Other advances in the DAC section include upsampling and re-clocking. The 16-core XMOS and CPLD MAX II Altera processors ensure there is always enough headroom for these operations, the new digital filters and the MQA processing. The single ended RCA and balanced XLR outputs each have their own output buffer. Via the XLR plugs you can enjoy a fully-differential amplifier design enabling a fully balanced output. Both output stages deliver superior audio quality, exhibit very low noise, large output voltage swing and high current drive. The excellent gain bandwidth and very fast slew rate produce exceptionally low distortion.

The M6x DAC’s connects the listener with their favorite artists on a hypnotic level. Carefully unpack the component, hook it up and feel the immediate musical integration: Sweet and clear treble, devoid of grain, paired with bottomless, tactile, and full dynamic low end. Those who want to delve deeper can utilize the customizable settings and make the M6x DAC a powerful tool for experts, which elevates it into a league of its own.
